This last Friday, I got called off work early and decided 
that I wanted to go out on an adventure and take some cool pictures. Fortunately for me, Bryan, Katie, and Candice also didn’t have to work (Megan did…SUCKER!) so we all decided 
to go visit some old railroad tracks that Katie found in the wonderful town (I use this term loosely, as there was only 1 road and about 4 houses) of Taggart, Utah.
It was a beautiful drive up the canyons, 
and we made a few stops along the way to go geocaching, the hottest new sport for GPS nerds like Bryan and I. We did a little hike along one of the many Mormon Pioneer trails that followed a nice little stream, quite possibly THE giving little stream that the pioneers sang about. 
And more possibly it wasn’t. We may never find out. Anyway, Bryan and I bush-whacked our way off of the trail and into the thick trees to find the geocache, and after a few minutes of getting molested by arachnids we found it. It was a big one that was all about origami cranes for some reason, 
so I attempted at a crane, got frustrated and crumpled my paper, and spent ten more minutes watching Bryan make his. The girls played around in the giving stream patiently while us manly men made our manly origami.
We continued 
on our way but our car got stopped by a herd of sheep so we got out and took some pictures. Bryan almost got attacked by a tiny black lamb, but no blood was shed. We continued on our way, 
found another geocache in Morgan, stopped at the Subway there because it was the only thing they had, and drove on to the abandoned train yard in Taggart. This was by far one of the coolest places I had seen to hang out and take pictures.
We walked through the tunnels and overlooked a river that was there, and tried to figure out where all the old bones on the ground came from. Candice seems to think they’re from birds, but I think they came from the starved Chinese immigrant workers that were forced to build the place.
We took a load of pictures then realized it was getting late so we booked it back down to 
the valley so we could catch a baseball game. The baseball game was as boring as baseball always is. Bryan was on the kissing cam with our married friend Marty. Awkward!…and to make matters worse, 
he hid from the camera by hiding next to Megan. Now the two of them were on the kissing cam. Even more awkward! We ate some of the best hotdogs I have ever tried, and watched some fireworks after the game so it wasn’t all that bad. Awesome day, but extremely exhausting.
